About Us: Although a relative newcomer to the community scene, our group has been fortunate enough to have achieved a number of outcomes for the area.
The Society was formed in November 2000 because it was felt there was a need in Ainsdale for a coherent (and collective) voice to represent issues within our community.
Ainsdale Civic Society has grown significantly since November 2000 and we currently have 140 members. We meet on the last Wednesday of each month at 8pm usually at Sacred Heart Church Hall, Liverpool Road, Ainsdale. We provide a variety of interesting speakers and all are welcome to attend.
We have already achieved quite a lot for a group so young, and we have plans for so much more ! Members of the Society have put in a lot of time and effort over the past few years, because of this, we are proud to say we have successfully achieved the following objectives within our Community.
* Donated £6,000 towards providing boardwalks at the ‘Sands Lake’ allowing access for all around the lake.
* Obtained the original Ainsdale Millwheel (the emblem of the Society) which is installed in the garden at the front of the Ainsdale Library.
* Donated an Oak Tree to the Village to celebrate our first birthday,
which has been planted on the Village Green.
* Donated two watercolour paintings featured in an article about Ainsdale in ‘Lancashire Life’ to Ainsdale Library and Ainsdale Discovery Centre.
* Provided 6 Planting troughs on Ainsdale Station which are filled and
maintained by the Society.
*Erected a Notice Board within the Village to offer a showcase for all
wishing to publicise any events held within the Village.
* Hold an annual fun-filled ‘Edwardian Gala Family Fun Day’ to which everyone is welcome.
* Our first publication ‘The War Memorial’ gives an insight into those
brave men and women whose names are engraved on the Village Memorial. It is available from the Chocolate Box, Ainsdale Library or direct from our Secretary at a cost of £2.50
* Held our first annual open gardens week-end to allow people to visit local gardens of interest
